Smoky shadows from lit cigars
tinkling keys effortlessly play
strum of guitar accompany
chatter , low hum delivered foray
Audience is murky and blue
while I hold on to you
Shocking display of loss
in a dance, a trance
slide, dip and sway
All else has faded
there is no room
no soiree
only the next, turn
into my arms

Love how you portrayed the main theme in this (her affection for him )using the dance and the atmosphere of the room. It created a dusky romantic atmosphere that brought the pic to life.
Shocking display of loss
hmm this threw me a little, is she dancing to forget the loss of another perhaps? Great visuals
Best of luck
